Life is Not a Game

Life is Not a Game

by Kara Verbeek

Charlotte leads a double life. Online, she is Mars: gamer, master strategist, and one of the boys. In real life, she’s too shy to utter a single word. On her team, she’s infallible. At school, she’s a freak. But a cross-country move gives her a chance to reinvent herself—until a fateful collision with her new friend’s gorgeous brother knocks her whole world off course. Will she have the courage to date football jock TJ? Or should she stick to her online love, Tony—even if he thinks she’s a boy?

Beneath the Blue Ice

Beneath the Blue Ice

by Donna Richards

Natasha thought she left her old crush behind when she moved away, but fate drags her back to Boston—and right into the same apartment as her best friend’s cocky hockey-playing brother. Layson has always been off-limits, but the way he looks at her now makes rules feel like nothing but fragile glass. He’s the star everyone wants, with a smirk that can melt ice, but with Natasha, something shifts—something deeper, something dangerous. She’s the quiet girl with sapphire eyes and a guarded heart, yet she makes him feel like he’s losing control. With desire sparking and boundaries blurring, can they resist what’s building between them, or will their story rewrite itself under the stars?

Feelin The Burn

Feelin The Burn

by E. L. Koslo

"“Relax your legs. Let me in.”

My breath hitches when his hands press between my thighs, pushing my legs apart as he leans in. His thumbs brush just under the hem of my exercise shorts and I swallow a moan, half pain, half pleasure.

He smirks like he knows exactly what he’s doing to me. “I’ll have you feeling the burn…”

Hannah is the big girl no guy ever looks twice at. Except for Jordan, her physical trainer, who never seems to take his eyes off her. Does he simply see her as a challenge, or something more?"

Teach You, Teach Me

Teach You, Teach Me

by N. Warren

Having a massive crush on your brother's best friend is so cliché, right? But what if that best friend comes back into your orbit after six years? And what if he's even dreamier than you remembered and presents you with a deal that you simply cannot refuse? There's a girl he wants, and he's asked you to help make her his—finally. Yeah, it sucks that the girl isn't you, but he's desperate and mouthwatering, and he'll do anything you want him to do to make you say yes...so you agree. The deal is set; you teach him to nail the girl of his dreams (literally), and he'll teach you how to pick up guys. It's simple, right? Because you both get what you want? So then, how does it go so wrong?

Broken Queen: The Finale

by Danni D

“Have I told you how much I appreciate you letting my dad stay with us after Dianne left?” I ask Alex, idly tracing shapes on his bare back.

“You have,” he replies. “But I won’t say no to you showing me again just how much you appreciate me,” he teases.

In the aftermath of her mother's abandonment, Ariel has more important things to worry about than Dianne finding her fated mate. Her father is in mourning, her position is working her into the dirt, and everyone is preparing for Mating Weekend—which she has to host. Can she handle it? Honestly, Ariel isn’t sure, but she’s going to try. Tensions rise as her duties begin to close in on her, but help comes in the form of her mate and dear friends coming together to give her a much needed break. A heartwarming reunion, fun surprises, and new adventures await.

Stella is bold, spirited, and used to getting her way, which makes every conversation between them spark with playful tension. Farm life suddenly feels different with him around. As days fill with muddy boots, teasing banter, and stolen glances across open fields, both try to pretend nothing is changing. But hearts have a way of wandering, especially when two stubborn souls keep crossing paths where work and attraction collide.
